And we wanted Andre Drummond. It just wasn't in the cards.

What would we be like had we taken Drummond and Lamb?

I'd be quite interested to have seen that come to pass. Wonder who our PG would be right now... So many possibilities this past summer - Dame better be "the one".

Drummond is making Rice look like a tool!

He thought he'd fall way out of the lotto.

The second youngest player in the NBA putting up 7/7 (1.5 BPG) in only 19 mpg with a 22 PER? He also has a DRtg of 98.

He has all the tools to become what we'd hope Oden would turn into.

Yeah, as someone who doesn't follow NCAA I was very interested in Drummond.

refresh my memory, what point guards were out on the open market that this team had a shot at?

I'm just talking about possibilities in general - this team could have gone is so many different directions, but it was all dependent upon who we drafted at #6. In regards to PGs wasn't Dragic a FA? And Lowry got traded. And Lin was an RFA. And beyond the PGs that actually changed teams, you'd have to think that we would have explored trades for a PG if we didn't draft Lillard. Maybe Rondo (doubtful, but I always like trying to create trade scenarios for Rondo)? You'd think we could probably trade for Calderon without giving up too much. There's a LOT of PG talent out there, and if we didn't draft Lillard who knows who our PG would be.

Leonard will certainly have a say in this as well.

Lillard seems to have "it", so I'm really not that worried about. And I was a big Lamb guy.

Raymond Felton.

 

[blue9]

I'd like to try to acquire Lamb from OKC. Of the wing players he was the one I was most interested in - only one that (based on draft reports & youtube) had star potential, IMO. In a league with two aging star SGs and nobody to step into the void I thought he might be worth a gamble.

If they wanted Lillard so bad, it doesn't seem like it should have been that tough to trade up from #10 to top-5 to leap frog us. This is the draft that was known as super deep but not overly strong up top, especially after the drop-off after their own #1 pick in Davis.
